The Argus Hotel & Cocktail Lounge

Superb!

Pros: The employee at the reception (Jess) was an amazing friendly person. During our whole trip we’ve not encountered anyone this friendly and helpful as she was. Our welcome was warm, kind and she was super enthusiastic! Our stay was superb, clean rooms, comfortable beds and an amazing venue. It was an older building which had so much charm and a great vibe. Breakfast was great as wel!

Cons: .

So lovely that we're considering having our wedding/reception here!

Pros: The property was beautiful. We stayed during winter, and the warm feel of the hotel was a perfect compliment. Beautiful woodwork & cozy bar w/ fireplace. The owners, particularly Matt, were great. And if you're an Old Fashioned or expresso martini lover, he mixes some of the best we've ever had. Matt was very knowledgeable about the property & city as well. We're locals & even we learned something! We could easily walk anywhere - the property sits right on Washington Park by the bridge & playhouse. And the street it's on is very quiet, so even though our suite was @ the front of the house, we had no noise. We were very content to spend the weekend here.

Cons: I had sent an email prior to our stay asking if there was anything we might need to bring w/ us. Being a \

Pretty good for the price.

Pros: The place was very beautiful and easy to find. Ample parking.

Cons: It was very hot in the rooms and musty carpeting.

The carriage house was perfect for a party of 5. The place offered free breakfast and very clean accommodation.

Pros: My family of 5 has a wonderful stay at the Carriage house The place was huge. We were able to have delicious breakfast at the main house and the owners were so accommodating to let us us the washer and dryer at the main house. I can’t wait to come back and stay at this place

Cons: None

Cozy for a 1 night, holiday season work trip

Pros: Cozy for Christmas. Next to lovely park and downtown campus. Walkable to downtown and Lark St eateries. Lovely complimentary breakfast pastries, fruit and coffee and tea. My room H1 had nice furnishings. Lovely Lovely property! The lounge opened in the evening but I didn't get to spend time there. It looked nice also. I would stay again and would recommend.

Cons: I received the self check in instructions morning off after I had already began my journey as my flight to Albany was at 5:29am. Nobody was there to greet me upon arrival but I was able to call and get my code updated start time for a 1p arrival, thankfully.

Wonderful stay and would recommend to anyone traveling to Albany

Pros: My stay at the Argus Hotel was wonderful! I came to Albany for the bar exam, which was very stressful, but the staff was incredibly kind and the rooms were very comfortable.

We stayed here while traveling through town. It just so happened that nobody else was in the mansion the night we were t

Pros: Everything was great from the location to the look and feel of the place to the staff. The lounge was very nice as was the outside premises.
